Class Prophecy The date is May 20th, 1994 Today you find me, Lora Duxbury. general manager of the Hurley Rastro s baseball team and test driver for the Mud Lake Monza Division of General Motors, flying back into my hometown of Hurley after a long promotional tour. As my plane is touching down at the Hurley Municipal Airport I realize that it has been exactly ten years since the great class of 1984 graduated from Hurley High. Hoping to catch up on some of the local news, I pick up a paper as I m passing through the airport. The front page headline immediate- ly catches my eye. The eyes of the world are on Hurley, for tonight is the night of the big title fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Kissable Kristi Johnson. The fight is to be held in Goose's All Night Gym and Delicatessen which is owned and operated by my former classmate, Lisa Olesen and features hot toddies. Turning the page of my paper, I am delighted to find my favorite advice column. Dear Nan Landers . Very few people know that this world-famous columnist was also a Hurley graduate of 1984. As my limousine is passing through Hurley's ample business dis- trict the first place I pass is Heidelberger's Insurance Agency and Rent-A-Car Shop . Since no one else would sell Gary a policy, Gary started this handy little corporation with the motto You Rent-We Dent . Right next door is Buddy's Body Shop and SKOAL Factory . Natu- rally, the head of the Most Improved Welding Department is Charles Hagenbuch. The welding is, of course, only a hobby of Chuck s due to the fact that he devotes most of his time to managing his universal chair of Stash s International Harvester dealerships The next block contains the Jacobson Medical Building' run by well known obstetrician, John Jacobson. He refers all of his patients to the Lee Maternity Shop run by classmate Shari Spomer. It features her line of popular Lee maternity jeans. After getting home, I am just in time to catch my favorite outdoor sports show featuring pro-bird watcher, Jerry Wirth in his quest for the perfect Robin. The fishing section of the show is hosted by BIG bass fisher Frank Heirigs, who is rafting down the Amazon. The Muppet Show comes on next with its dazzling new star, Judith Benson. Judith took over after the retirement of Miss Piggy and vacations on her hog farm near Hurley. It is almost time for the big fight and as I'm hurrying up to the gym, I run into Gloria Falconer. She is now the mayor of Lennox, 5.D. We are chatting over old times when who should appear but big name farmer, Jeff Ness. He has become quite successful since he pur- chased what used to be Viborg, S.D., to turn into his pig operation. He is quite normal in spite of his success except for the fact that he gets the urge to turn into Dracula at the first sign of Dawn. As I watched Kristi claim her title it occured to me that the class of 1984 had indeed proven to be the finest class ever to graduate from Hurley High. 12
